COMMUNITY ZONE W:420.411pt H:308.001pt
An arts centre in Berkshire has sparked an initiative to work better with the community.
South Hill Park was thrilled to host its first ambassador meeting on Monday December 6. The scheme was launched to encourage better community engagement with South Hill Park and help the charity to learn from community representatives about how they can serve the local people better.
Founder of the scheme, marketing campaigns officer Katie Greet said; “It was wonderful to get these passionate and experienced voices in a room together to talk about what we at South Hill Park need to continue doing, and what we can look at doing in the future to inspire more to take part.
“South Hill Park has so much to offer, and the ambassadors are incredibly valuable not only to help us to share this, but to also learn about what we can do better. As an arts centre it is vital that we always look to grow and improve so everyone in our local community can discover the joy the arts can bring.”
The five ambassadors will meet three times a year, around the same time each new season of events is launched at South Hill Park, with members of staff from the arts centre. The group will discuss the upcoming programme, feedback how the local community is engaging with the arts centre, and brainstorm ideas to encourage this engagement further.
